‘Music for All’

The primary aim of our ‘Music for All’ approach at Beaudesert is for all children to gain a love and appreciation of music by developing their musical understanding.

The curriculum for children in the Pre-Prep enables them to develop their singing and listening, foundational skills in reading and writing musical notation and a basic understanding of the musical elements.

During their time in the Prep School, children will build upon their knowledge and skills acquired in the Pre-Prep. Children will develop their understanding of the musical elements by exploring topics including Pentatonic music, African music, Reggae, Musical Theatre, Motown, The Blues, Jazz and Improvisation, Baroque/Classical/Romantic, Film music and the Orchestra. Through the study of these topics, children will have opportunities to apply their musical knowledge when performing, composing, listening and improvising.
